Husband receives a 50-year-old love note from his beloved late wife

A simple
love note, written in the wall, has travelled through time to delight its
intended recipient some 50 years after it was first penned by his wife.

When Germaine
Langdon was preparing to have a little re-panelling done in her Ontario home,
she took the sweet step of writing a little note for her husband in the
drywall. It read: Germaine loves Roy March 17th, 1965.

Roy never
saw it because it was soon covered up by workmen. But more than 50 years later,
their home’s new resident, Rebecca Churáň
was doing a little home improvement work of her own, and uncovered the message.
“When I tore down the paneling in my living room, it revealed
drywall," she wrote
on Facebook. "I was exited [sic] because that meant I did not need to
drywall haha."

But
eventually she decided that the note should be reunited with its intended
recipient, and so she posted its picture on a community Facebook page, appealing
for anyone with information to come forward. Within days, Claudette, daughter
of Roy and Germaine got in touch. Sadly, her mother had passed away in 2006,
but Roy would be over the moon to finally get the message.

At the age
of 92, Roy finally has his love letter from his wife. “The love I could feel he
had for his past wife was almost too hard to take,” Churáň wrote following the
handover meeting.
